I need some help with a couple of wool felt hats. I've looked up the makers of both hats, and I can't find any specifics on either maker (and the dating for other hats by these makers covers quite a few decades). Based on their condition/styling/stitching (machine stitching, and one has a grosgrain ribbon around the inner band), I'm guessing they were made in the 50s or later, but I'm having trouble dating them more precisely than that.
#1: Made by Betmar. It also has a stamp on the inside that says "Luisant Soleil, 100% wool, Betmar Hats."
#2: Made by Glenover by Henry Pollak. Again, it's a 100% wool felt.
Here's a pic of the Betmar hat:
